Manchin's Mountain Message
Fighting for Permanent Solution for our Miners
This week, I joined my colleagues in sending a letter to congressional
leaders urging them to include a permanent solution for miners'
benefits in the government funding bill Congress will consider next
week. The Miners Protection Act is a bipartisan bill that honors the
promise of health care and retirement benefits to retired miners and
their families who are facing uncertainty as a result of the financial
crisis and corporate bankruptcies.
As we explained, 22,600 of our nation's retired coal miners are set to
lose their benefits if we don't come to a resolution. Last month, these
miners received letters notifying them of this impending termination.
In West Virginia alone, nearly 8,500 men and women will suffer the
anguish and fear that comes with the loss of these life-saving benefits
� which our coal miners earned and were promised through their decades
of hard work.
Also this week, I met with a group of miners in West Virginia to
discuss this issue and ensure them that I won't stop fighting until we
reach a permanent solution. I won't settle for a temporary fix. Our
retired miners and their families deserve certainty, and that's what we
must give them.

this issue here

I truly appreciate the opportunity to hear from my constituents. As
your U.S. Senator, I am proud to be your voice with government agencies
during your time of need. My goal is to provide top-notch customer
service for every West Virginian who contacts me, or who may need help.

welcome the opportunity to assist you with whatever problem you may be
experiencing and ask that full consideration be given to your case.
Recently my office was able to help Terri Wallen from Beckley, West
Virginia. Terri's father, Dewey Lily, a WW2 veteran passed away
recently and she discovered his military discharge papers showing his
awards and decorations. She was unable to locate the medals and asked
my office to assist her with replacing them so that she may pass them
down to her son. My office was able to request these medals, including
a Bronze Star and my staff delivered them in person to Terri at her
home. If you are a veteran, or know of someone in need of assistance
with VA benefits, healthcare or recognition, please let me know.
